FREE shcools are still free institutioris. in the United
States, thanks to the bravery of tenicongressmen, five Democrats and1 five Republicans. Jointly, last December 12, they
broke up a piece of law-making- strategy that might have
wrecked American freedpm completely. Thus ended Round 5
of a long and costly fight to top our public schools with a
bureaucratic boss in Washington.
The House Committee on Education, by a ten-to-nine vote,
rejected the famous bill to provide federal aid (?) to education. The threat' of collectivism to American liberty was
greater at no time during World War II than it is now, and
all people who appreciate the privileges our pioneer grandfathers won with flintlock rifles, may be thankful to a sane
Congress.
WHAT happened that day made the: best news of the week
but, important as it was, did not eclipse the brilliant tidings
of the previous week when President Truuman signed a bill
to place a group of government corporations under control of
Congress. These highly privileged, wild entities had been foraging without restraint in rich fields of industry for varying
numbers of years.
The Chief Executive complimented Congress for roping and
branding these freebooters, as well he might. Indeed the 79th
Congress deserves a great deal of commendation. One of its
most notable achievements of the First Session was the exhaustive job by the Manasco Committee, X-raying the so-
called Full Employment Bill. It deserved to be diagnosed
thoroughly, and it was.
...SEVERAL well informed Washington observers predicted
that a dehorned and f angless version of the Full Employment
Bill Would pass — into oblivion. As originally written, it was
a viper;; a, sort of two-edged Townsend plan of pensions with
an appended government guarantee of ever-ready, gainful
employment to everybody out of jails and hospitals, drunk or
sober, on borrowed government money.

"Prosperousj.productive people can afford to yield their substance freely to help genuinely unfortunate folk Who are in
need. On the other hand it is not a kindness to quench any
mian's desire to make his own living and build his own success. Doing such things for people is unfair to them. We
should' be proud of our 79th Congress for holding that everlasting truth in mind.
Open Your Eyes
' Few people today have any conception of the important
part the Bible teachings played in the business progress of
the United States or the creation of our government. America was founded on man's consciousness of God, man's daily
labor and the fruits therefrom.
., All over the world, during the past two decades, political
teachings, which aggrandized an individual, have taken the
the place of Bible teachings. Equality, freedom and religious
liberty have been lost in nations which glorified indivduals
gather than principles.
1 In our own country, strong factions are seeking to tie our
future progress to, all-powerful government. People are losing; sight of the fact that America was not built on this
bWjs, but was built upon a Constitution that embodies the
teachings of the Bible.
'[[1$ is high time that we came to our senses and, instead of
aping foreign governments that criticize our country but
turn to it for men and money to settle their everlasting
quarrels, and. proyerty, renewed >our respect for the spirit
that breathes behjnd our own Constitution, based an ideals
whijch hg.y.e; given- us liberty and blessings beyond those enjoyed by, all Qth.er peoples.
!And d\m't, let any foreign or domestic politician try to tell
you he has a, system under which government will do for the
individual what the individual, cannot do for himself if he
keeps government his servant rather than his master.
Out Qi Bounds
■ ' There are advantages and disadvantages to living in the
suburbs a few blocks beyond the city limits. The disadvantages very'often don't strike home until there is an emergency, such 3S n.eed for fire protection.
?! For example, a house catches fire, the nearby fire department, is called but' refuses to come because the house m
question is a couple of biocks outside the department's jurisdiction.' Bitterly the owner watches his property bum to
hfe ground. Sometimes he even sees the efficient looking
equipment of the city standing by a short distance away to
protect nearbv buildings within the city limtis.
"It is as helplessas he. The law says it is to go no farther
and the fire crew must obey the law. They know that if they
should BO beyond the prescribed limits and a fire should
occur intheir absence, destroying the property of a taxpayer entitled to their protection while they were out protecting the property of a non-taxpayer, they would be subject to
the severest criticism! .
1 'Occurrences such,ate this can be avoided if outlying property- owners will form rural fee districts which work in
conjunction with the nearest fire department. Arrangements
o£ thjLs nature provide for payment of fire protection and
-fiVe--fighting:"service. >
Everyone who lives where there is doubt as to fire protection, should -.take steps immediately to erafee that doubt.
After the emer%ency; arises,, it; is too' late. And it is unfair,
then to criticize the.fire department; The blame is on the
property-owners. ^

George Washington, President In
1789, Stili a Yardstick For Today
Out of the storms and clouds of debt, disorganization, state
jealousy, individual discouragement, and near- anarchy, preceding the writing of the Constitution of the United States,
one figure loomed greiat and glorious as the leader in the
formation of a strong, free and workable government—and*
that figure was George Washington.
Washington who had come into prominence after the
capture of Fort Duquesne in the early French-Indian Wars,
retired to • his plantation. Later he was elected to the House
of Burgesses as a member from Virginia,-being asking-to
rise and give an account of his military exploits,,he-stood-up,
' but could, say'. riothihg, whereuppn j
the speaker relieved him.,by.stat- -

It -was.' this; same- Washington.-
who wrote to the various leaders ;
in the ' states and urgently recommended,, "an indissoluble* urti6ii' of
the states, under one-federalh^ftd."
Thus was- that , famous meeting
called in Philadephia—with-Washington the delegate from Virginia
with Madison' — where our great
Constitution was created, in 1787.
Beside him were John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and representative
men, now known to. almost every
schoolboy. But foremost; ampng-

Berne, Indiana — Arveda Schae-

county, Indiana high school girl
and 4-H club member has just been
named national winner among high
school age contestants in the 1945
Green Thumb contest. Her record,
which included the care, harvesting and preservation of vegetables
she produced on her half-acre garden at her home in Adams county.
In addition Arveda helped to operate an 80-acre farm and to milk a
herd of- 22 cows. She is shown here
with a silver njedal that she was
awarded ' as state winner in Indiana. Her record then won the national title of champion gardener
in the youth group and ,$500, in additional to the national title in the
high- school age section which
brought a $100 victory bond.
luster of his name. And now' we
are being tested-, as neyer before,
as a nation of free people—--whether or wot our form o| government
and our way of life, shall still continue to exist in a world afire with
war, ' a . large" ."part of' its - people
dictated to and commanded by a
group of selfish, ruthless leaders.
Washington warned against all
such leaders on foreign soils, and
against the United States becoming- embroiled in their quarrels,
jealousies and wars. Today, as never before—invisible to the eye.:—
the Spirit of George Washington
appears out of the clouds of war
and dissensions, and almost speaks
again. ',
There is in all history no purer, or more inspiring name than
that of Washington. Green, the
Bi-itish historian, once stated; "No
nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life." Washington still remains "first in the
hearts of his countrymen." May
nothing that we now do dim the
fame, the wisdom, or the greatness
of that name!

all people who appreciate the privileges our pioneer grandfathers won with flintlock rifles, may be thankful to a sane
Congress.
WHAT happened that day made the: best news of the week
but, important as it was, did not eclipse the brilliant tidings
of the previous week when President Truuman signed a bill
to place a group of government corporations under control of
Congress. These highly privileged, wild entities had been foraging without restraint in rich fields of industry for varying
numbers of years.
The Chief Executive complimented Congress for roping and
branding these freebooters, as well he might. Indeed the 79th
Congress deserves a great deal of commendation. One of its
most notable achievements of the First Session was the exhaustive job by the Manasco Committee, X-raying the so-
called Full Employment Bill. It deserved to be diagnosed
thoroughly, and it was.
...SEVERAL well informed Washington observers predicted
that a dehorned and f angless version of the Full Employment
Bill Would pass — into oblivion. As originally written, it was
a viper;; a, sort of two-edged Townsend plan of pensions with
an appended government guarantee of ever-ready, gainful
employment to everybody out of jails and hospitals, drunk or
sober, on borrowed government money.

"Prosperousj.productive people can afford to yield their substance freely to help genuinely unfortunate folk Who are in
need. On the other hand it is not a kindness to quench any
mian's desire to make his own living and build his own success. Doing such things for people is unfair to them. We
should' be proud of our 79th Congress for holding that everlasting truth in mind.
Open Your Eyes
' Few people today have any conception of the important
part the Bible teachings played in the business progress of
the United States or the creation of our government. America was founded on man's consciousness of God, man's daily
labor and the fruits therefrom.
., All over the world, during the past two decades, political
teachings, which aggrandized an individual, have taken the
the place of Bible teachings. Equality, freedom and religious
liberty have been lost in nations which glorified indivduals
gather than principles.
1 In our own country, strong factions are seeking to tie our
future progress to, all-powerful government. People are losing; sight of the fact that America was not built on this
bWjs, but was built upon a Constitution that embodies the
teachings of the Bible.
'[[1$ is high time that we came to our senses and, instead of
aping foreign governments that criticize our country but
turn to it for men and money to settle their everlasting
quarrels, and. proyerty, renewed >our respect for the spirit
that breathes behjnd our own Constitution, based an ideals
whijch hg.y.e; given- us liberty and blessings beyond those enjoyed by, all Qth.er peoples.
!And d\m't, let any foreign or domestic politician try to tell
you he has a, system under which government will do for the
individual what the individual, cannot do for himself if he
keeps government his servant rather than his master.
Out Qi Bounds
■ ' There are advantages and disadvantages to living in the
suburbs a few blocks beyond the city limits. The disadvantages very'often don't strike home until there is an emergency, such 3S n.eed for fire protection.
?! For example, a house catches fire, the nearby fire department, is called but' refuses to come because the house m
question is a couple of biocks outside the department's jurisdiction.' Bitterly the owner watches his property bum to
hfe ground. Sometimes he even sees the efficient looking
equipment of the city standing by a short distance away to
protect nearbv buildings within the city limtis.
"It is as helplessas he. The law says it is to go no farther
and the fire crew must obey the law. They know that if they
should BO beyond the prescribed limits and a fire should
occur intheir absence, destroying the property of a taxpayer entitled to their protection while they were out protecting the property of a non-taxpayer, they would be subject to
the severest criticism! .
1 'Occurrences such,ate this can be avoided if outlying property- owners will form rural fee districts which work in
conjunction with the nearest fire department. Arrangements
o£ thjLs nature provide for payment of fire protection and
-fiVe--fighting:"service. >
Everyone who lives where there is doubt as to fire protection, should -.take steps immediately to erafee that doubt.
After the emer%ency; arises,, it; is too' late. And it is unfair,
then to criticize the.fire department; The blame is on the
property-owners. ^

George Washington, President In
1789, Stili a Yardstick For Today
Out of the storms and clouds of debt, disorganization, state
jealousy, individual discouragement, and near- anarchy, preceding the writing of the Constitution of the United States,
one figure loomed greiat and glorious as the leader in the
formation of a strong, free and workable government—and*
that figure was George Washington.
Washington who had come into prominence after the
capture of Fort Duquesne in the early French-Indian Wars,
retired to • his plantation. Later he was elected to the House
of Burgesses as a member from Virginia,-being asking-to
rise and give an account of his military exploits,,he-stood-up,
' but could, say'. riothihg, whereuppn j

who wrote to the various leaders ;

Thus was- that , famous meeting
called in Philadephia—with-Washington the delegate from Virginia
with Madison' — where our great
Constitution was created, in 1787.
Beside him were John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and representative
men, now known to. almost every

Berne, Indiana — Arveda Schae-
fer, 16', Kirklar.d township, Adams
county, Indiana high school girl
and 4-H club member has just been
named national winner among high
school age contestants in the 1945
Green Thumb contest. Her record,
which included the care, harvesting and preservation of vegetables
she produced on her half-acre garden at her home in Adams county.
In addition Arveda helped to operate an 80-acre farm and to milk a
herd of- 22 cows. She is shown here
with a silver njedal that she was
awarded ' as state winner in Indiana. Her record then won the national title of champion gardener
in the youth group and ,$500, in additional to the national title in the
high- school age section which
brought a $100 victory bond.
luster of his name. And now' we
are being tested-, as neyer before,
as a nation of free people—--whether or wot our form o| government
and our way of life, shall still continue to exist in a world afire with
war, ' a . large" ."part of' its - people
dictated to and commanded by a
group of selfish, ruthless leaders.
Washington warned against all
such leaders on foreign soils, and
against the United States becoming- embroiled in their quarrels,
jealousies and wars. Today, as never before—invisible to the eye.:—
the Spirit of George Washington
appears out of the clouds of war
and dissensions, and almost speaks
again. ',
There is in all history no purer, or more inspiring name than
that of Washington. Green, the
Bi-itish historian, once stated; "No
nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life." Washington still remains "first in the
hearts of his countrymen." May
nothing that we now do dim the
fame, the wisdom, or the greatness
of that name!
